Sorry to say but we have to struck down by the Covid virus!! We think it arrived from when we visited the hospital, which then got passed on to the rest of the family. One way and another, we lost about 16 days of work.
We are now fully recovered and have no signs of any lasting effects .. thank goodness!!

Christmas and New Year Holidays Break plus Recovery from Health Issue
We are having our usual Christmas and New Year holiday break again this year but also taking time off for one of our work crew to recover from an minor health issue, a long-awaited hernia operation that was delayed because of the Covid saga. This means that much of January will be gone before we can resume the heavy work of building the internal framework of the rooms on the Ground Floor.
We will have to order more timber soon as we have already used, probably about 50% of our supply of 63mm CLS planks. But there is a world wide shortage of timber and that is pushing up the prices quite sharply and it is likely that we will see 20% price hikes in the new year. O Boy!
But that’s life!
So wishing everyone a good break yourselves and have a Merry Christmas!P.S. Stephen thought he had posted this before Christmas!

The last two days has fallen foul of the side-effects of the suffering these cold and flu viruses, with disrupted sleep patterns and secondly infections.
What a world we live on!
What will be around the next corner??
Phew! -
Another Week Lost!
Another week is lost to another bout of cold or flu virus attack! It is the second lots for us both and this time, it is likely to have been the flu virus. It is definitely noticeable to how much more worse this winter has been with these bugs flying around than previous years.
But we are well on the mend now and on Monday, we will slowly get back into the routine of work again, it is going to be very odd after so much time lost!! -
The Winter Cold Virus Hits the Workforce!
This is a report of several days of illness for our two man workforce, both being subjected to the damn annoying winter cold viruses, but not at the same time!!
The week beginning the 8th January (Monday) was lost with a few days of no action. Then the 2nd attack occurs in the middle of the following week (16th January Tuesday onwards) lying both workmen low separately and consecutivly – how annoying!!
We may see work resume on Monday 22nd January onward, if the weather is kind to us, but we haven’t lost all these last 14 days, we did manage to do some design analysis towards the procurement of items to build the Skylight, more info in the Glazing Framework Type, Shape and Size Final Adjustments report. -
